After countless red carpet appearances and confirmation they’d moved in together, Caitlyn Jenner had us all convinced she was dating Sophia Hutchins.

However, the transgender model— who serves as the 70-year-old’s manager— has since confirmed their relationship is purely platonic, telling a New York Times reporter they were “never romantically involved”.
As for why they’ve never addressed romance rumours, the former finance student turned celebrity manager said she prefers to keep her life private and has little interest in what people think of their dynamic.
“We weren’t addressing it,” she said. “I don’t feel a need to address my sex life, quite frankly, unless I want to.”
In a last-ditch effort to convince us they’ve never been more than friends, Sophia— who transitioned in 2016 after Caitlyn came out as trans in a “20/20″ interview— confirmed she’s dating a 30-year-old man who is a Harvard alum and works on Wall Street.
Sophia connected with the professional athlete after she came out as transgender and took on the role as her manager just months after Caitlyn sacked her ex-wife, Kris Jenner.
“I saw nobody was managing her, and there were all these people taking massive advantage,” she began. “And I was saying, ‘Caitlyn, if I don’t step in here and start managing you, you’re going to go broke.’”
Her tell-all interview comes days after the former Olympian was eliminated from I’n A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! As expected, Caitlyn’s stint on the hit reality series threw her back into the spotlight… for all the wrong reasons.
During her time in the jungle, Caitlyn opened up about her fractured relationship with her step-daughter Khloe, shocking revealing they haven’t spoken in five years.
“I went through every kid, and Khloé, for some reason, was pissed off about something through this whole process,” Caitlyn said, admitting their beef started when she told Khloe about her transition. “Honestly it’s been five, six years and I really haven’t talked to her since.” She then added, “We were really close, I raised her since she was 5 years old. I really don’t know what her issues are.”
Expectedly, a source close to the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star later told TMZ she felt “blindsided” and “hurt” by the I Am Cait star’s unnecessary comments and is “genuinely confused” why she’s discussing their relationship without confronting her behind closed doors.
As per the TMZ insider, Khloe strongly “rejects the notion they’re still feuding” and was “completely supportive” of Caitlyn’s decision to transition. According to the well-placed insider, the mum-of-one is happy the 70-year-old is living authentically but still harbours resentment towards her for the way she treated and spoke about Kris.
After spilling her family’s secret— despite Kris Jenner’s gag order— she was left red-faced when no one from the Kar-Jenner clan greeted her after she was evicted.
“Honestly, nobody reached out to set it up,” Caitlyn’s step-brother Brandon told a fan who asked why he was a no show. “I think it might have been a ‘storyline’ the producers wanted to fabricate in order to get more empathy for Caitlyn. That’s how that kind of TV works.”
After noticing the Tweet, the KKW Beauty founder weighed in, echoing a similar sentiment.
“Exactly what Brandon said!!!! NO ONE from I’m A Celeb even reached out and asked for letters, appearances or anything from any Kardashians or Jenners.”
